Bush will gather terror victims from different countries to show linkage
from his speech yesterday:

"Despite their differences," Bush argued, "these groups from -- form the outlines of a single movement, a worldwide network of radicals that use terror to kill those who stand in the way of their totalitarian ideology." http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/08/20060831-1.html

Bush Setting Up Next Terror Speech
White House to Bring International Audience to Next Bush War-On-Terror Speech

WASHINGTON Sep 1, 2006 (AP)— The White House is bringing representatives from countries that have suffered terrorist attacks to populate the audience at President Bush's next war-on-terror speech, to emphasize the global nature of the enemy.

Bush often ticks off a list of attacks from recent years, such as those in London, Madrid, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and Jordan, to demonstrate that the world should be united against Islamic militants who share a purpose if not a common network.

Speaking before an American Legion convention in Salt Lake City, Bush said the global war against these terrorists whom he said share "the rigid conviction that free societies are a threat to their twisted view of Islam" is today's successor to last century's fights against Nazism, fascism and communism.

On Tuesday, the president plans to expand on this description of the enemy, said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino. The speech is being delivered to the Military Officers Association of America. Members of the diplomatic corps, all representatives of countries that have been attacked, will also be there, she said.

6. Exactly. How can he link separate events to some universal remedy?

Every response so far from Bush has been a blundering, collateral, military one. I'd be surprised if the governments of the countries they're from would gather before Bush in solidarity with him over anything.

8. Keyword: "Military". Some 52% of each tax dollar goes to the military.
Last I looked. An infinite war is a continuous cash feedbag for the Mil/Indus complex. Follow the money.

It's not like other governments could either do anything about it or help or something...

10. He presumes they'll let themselves become part of the front
in his 'war on terror'

Nothing could be more of a consession to the practitioners of these disparate acts of thuggery than to elevate and morph their handiwork into a unified anti-American display. It only encourages them to more violence, for more elevated attention, and Bush can never/will never protect these poor folks.
